Increase in fuel, rise in gas, rise in electricity.A puzzle for many households.So #on you you.Here are some simple ideas to reduce your expenses.
Two out of three French people believe that energy represents a significant share of their expenses.By weakening our supplies of raw materials (gas and oil among others), the conflict in Ukraine will inevitably make our fuel and heating bills set up.We give you some tips for saving money.
Transportation
When possible, favor public transport.Between fuel consumption and the price of the parking lot, the car trip will always cost you more than a bus ticket.And that is without counting the purchase price of the car, its maintenance and insurance.
The Brittany region has set up interesting prices on TERs even for occasional trips, whatever your age.
It goes without saying that sharing a car also shares the costs, so why not get started.Public actors, the Brittany region, ADEME (Environment and Energy Management Agency), Nantes Métropole united to create the WEOPGO carpooling platform in 2016.
When stopped, cut your engine.Leaving a vehicle to idle for 20 seconds consumes more fuel than stopping then restart the engine.
Check the tire pressure.Inflawed tires increase fuel consumption and reduce handling.
Be sure to maintain your vehicle.A poorly maintained vehicle can cause overconsumption of fuel up to 25 %.
Remove any useless load and winds.Dismantle roof chests and galleries when they are not useful.Note that a roof box will always have less winding than a gallery.
Adopt a flexible driving.Start gently, use speed reports correctly (surregial driving can increase consumption by 20%).
Anticipate slowdowns.Use the engine brake rather than the brake pedal.Reducing your speed by 10km/h saves 1 liter of fuel over 100 km.
Air conditioning: Large energy consumer.Air conditioning can cause overconsumption of 10% of road fuel and 25% in town.
Heating
This is the biggest consumer position since it represents 65% of energy expenditure.Reducing the temperature of the housing by 1 ° is 7% savings.So live the big sweaters!
